Wednesday// Grit:: Influence
Title-The influence of actions Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 One of my favorite movies is Gladiator and one of my favorite lines in that movie is “what we do in life echos in eternity”. So powerful so true. Men what is your life echoing right now? […]
Tue // Fuel :: Prayer
Title: No Excuse Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 What? Really? This is what I would have been thinking reading this letter from Paul. You want me to do what? Pray continually. Do you know what I have to accomplish in a day Paul? Before too long my list of excuses not to pray has […]
Mon // Surrender :: Control
Title: Our intuition Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. – Proverbs 3:5 Counterintuitive.

Wed // Grit :: Character
Title: Who are you like? Do not be misled: “Bad Company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Its pretty simple, we become like the people we spend time with. We use the same words, tell the same jokes, watch the same movies and TV shows, eat the same food, etc. If these people are […]
Tue // Fuel :: Word
Title: Change us For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart – Hebrew 4:12 I admit I am not a “reader”; I can count the number of books […]
Mo // Surrender :: Confess
